Charles Keating and the S&L crisis MONETARY AND ECONOMIC REVIEW. CHARLIE KEATING JAILED HIGH LEVEL PROTECTION FAILS Charles Keating, the godfather of the S&L scandal, now sits behind bars, perhaps for the rest of his life. He has been assessed fines exceeding 3.6 billion dollars in just one civil action. Federal prosecution has not yet begun. Yet after several books and tens of thousands of column inches of newsprint, the major features of the Keating story remain, until now, untold. For example, General John Singlaub and the CIA's Latin American military campaigns, Carl Lindner's purchase of UNITED BRANDS and the U.S. Honduran aid program, extensive BCCI transactions, PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE, and Keating's attempt to get a strangle hold on the water supply of Arizona are key essential features of Keating's story that have not had national exposure. An army of federal regulators, prosecutors, attorneys and judges have combed the affairs of Charles Keating. So why haven't the major features of his operations come to light? Having a brother who was vice president of ASSOCIATED PRESS helped keep items off the wire service. The ownership of Phoenix's two city newspapers helped even more. The ARIZONA REPUBLIC and the PHOENIX GAZETTE are owned by the Dan Quayle family. The Vice President's involvement in the affairs of CIA Latin American programs provided plenty of incentive for Phoenix newspapers to keep the Keating affair as quiet as possible. And Carl Lindner, a much bigger fish than Charles Keating in these affairs, holds the largest stock interest in KTSP TV, the CBS television affiliate in Phoenix. Keating is a man who has done favors for many powerful individuals including Presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush. Steven Pizzo, author of INSIDE JOB, one of the best books on S&L looting, supplied Barbara Honegger, author of OCTOBER SURPRISE, a Defence Intelligence Agency telex indicating that the alleged OCTOBER SURPRISE airplane for William Casey's and Heinrich Rupp's Paris trip was arranged by Kenneth Qualls, formerly the chief pilot of Charlie Keating's AMERICAN CONTINENTAL CORPORATION. This and other high level CIA favors may suggest even more sinister reasons why the major features of the Keating story never made it to print. Savings and Loans were originally chartered to provide home mortgage loans. When Ronald Reagan deregulated the industry, high rollers were free to attempt more ambitious projects with the federally insured deposits. No one was more ambitious than Charlie Keating and no one lost more of the tax payer's money. To date taxpayers have been assessed $500 billion for the S&L looting ))) $2 1/2 billion for Charlie's sins alone. After providing less than a dozen home loans, Keating set out to build THE PHOENICIAN, a $300 million luxury resort hotel financed 55% by his newly acquired S&L, LINCOLN SAVINGS, and 45% by the King and Queen of Kuwait. November of 1989, six months after Keating's parent company AMERICAN CONTINENTAL finally hit the skids, the Feds took over the PHOENICIAN RESORT in a surprise 1:00 AM raid. At 4:00 AM Keating was summoning bellmen to a side entrance where 24 cartons of files were loaded into Keating's recreational vehicle. When asked about this by a member of the local press the Feds responded that they knew of this and Keating was allowed to take these files because "they were his personal correspondence --- like letters to his family." The federal investigation of Keating was totally compromised from beginning to end. If the Feds had done even the most elemental examination of the business affairs of Charles Keating, this is what they would certainly have found: On November 26, 1980, just two weeks after the election of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, Keating purchased the property located at 2735 East Camelback Road for his AMERICAN CONTINENTAL CORPORATION Headquarters. For this he paid $3,083,000 to the MICHAEL J. PELOQUIN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. During the period from 1980 to 1984, Maricopa county court records show that sixty civil suits were filed against Peloquin. And Michael J. Peloquin has a famous father, Robert Peloquin, who has an even more questionable past. After serving on Robert Kennedy's Strike Force On Organized Crime, Robert Peloquin and half the other attorneys there, distinguished themselves by going directly to work for the major organized crime figures they were investigating. Peloquin Sr. set up the private spy company, INTERTEL, reportedly for the king pin of American organized crime, Meyer Lansky. After Lansky had failed to introduce legalized gambling into Atlantic City, INTERTEL was formed to "police the gambling industry" to make gambling acceptable to the state of New Jersey. It is a matter of record that Robert Peloquin ran the PARADISE ISLAND CASINO in the Bahamas for Lansky. This is interesting since Keating had his mansion base also in the Bahamas. It was INTERTEL that was responsible for the security of Howard Hughes the last two questionable years of his life. Nixon's Domestic Affairs Advisor, Charles Colson once stated that it was difficult to tell "where the HUGHES CORPORATION ended and the CIA began". The parent company of INTERTEL is RESORTS INTERNATIONAL whose original name was MARY CARTER PAINT COMPANY. MARY CARTER PAINT was reported in a significant May 20, 1976 article by Howard Kohn in ROLLING STONE to have been founded by Allen Dulles, the Director of CIA under Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. In the book, THE COMPANY THAT BOUGHT THE BOARDWALK, INTERTEL was described as a merger of former FBI, CIA, Customs, Bureau of Tobacco and Firearms, IRS and other federal agents with organized crime. This book describes in some detail how Robert Peloquin headed the first Justice Department STRIKE FORCE ON ORGANIZED CRIME, then retired to go directly to work for those Justice was investigating. Michael J. Peloquin purchased what would soon become the AMERICAN CONTINENTAL Headquarters property April 2, 1979, from James E. Patrick II and Herman Chanen for $550,000. The sale to Keating represented a bump of $2.5 million in only 8 months! What is more, Patrick II and Chanen are not stupid when it comes to real estate. Patrick II is the son of James Patrick, who at this time was President of VALLEY NATIONAL BANK, Arizona's largest bank. Herman Chanen owns the largest construction company in Phoenix and at sale time was Chairman of the State Board of Regents which oversees all state universities. These men represented the very pinnacle of the Phoenix business establishment. Soon after the Keating deal, James Patrick Sr. retired to become president of ROYAL PETROLEUM in Kuwait, a country closely connected to Charlie's business affairs. September 19, 1985, Keating received a $5 million loan on this property from PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a bump of another $2 million. This was a one payment note that was due in total October 1, 1990. The note was secured with nothing more that the property which had been purchased for $3,083,000. When Keating filed Chapter 11 in April of 1989 this $5 million was added to the rest of the money that just evaporated. Why were these big business interests coming forward to set Charlie up in business? PRUDENTIAL is a big player in this. Not only was George Bush's father, Prescott Bush, on the board of Directors of PRUDENTIAL but Ronald Reagan was one of the largest stockholders. It was PRUDENTIAL that owned the land upon which Herman Chanin built the lavish shopping center, BILTMORE FASHION SQUARE, which is located just across the street from Keating's Headquarters. One month after the PRUDENTIAL loan, Keating really became bold when he purchased the property adjoining the HQ property for $13,000,000 for the Arizona branch of LINCOLN SAVINGS! For all practical purposes this property is identical to the HQ property in size and structures. Very bold. The RESOLUTION TRUST CORPORATION (RTC) after taking over LINCOLN SAVINGS moved its Arizona operations to this property. They did this to protect Keating. Keating never had clear title to this property. It can not be sold. The RTC attorneys have been presented with all this information as have the attorneys for the bondholders. They have never as much as made a phone call in response! Why all this high level protection and why would these big business interests provide Keating all this money? Some answers to these questions lie in Keating's origins. Charles Keating started out as an attorney for Carl Lindner, the original owner of AMERICAN CONTINENTAL CORPORATION. According to UC Berkeley professor Dr. Peter Dale Scott, Carl Lindner is a well documented profiteer off the Vietnam war. Lindner is a much bigger player than Keating. According to Peter Brewton, the star reporter for the HOUSTON POST whose hard hitting exposees have linked the CIA to the looting of 22 other S&Ls, Lindner owned 7 failed S&Ls but has gone virtually unmentioned in regards to the S&L looting scandal. Lindner is reported to be one of the wealthiest men in America and a top financier of the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY. When Gorbechev came to the United States he visited Carl Lindner. At the same time as Keating was purchasing the AMERICAN CONTINENTAL HQ property, Lindner was transferring almost the total assets of his AMERICAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION (a private company requiring no stockholder reports) into a Honduran company, UNITED BRANDS, taking UNITED BRANDS from a publicly traded to a private company. UNITED BRANDS was formed when UNITED FRUIT, a CIA front prominent in several Latin American coups, was merged with a second company. CHEQUETA BANANAS is one of UNITED BRANDS well know brand names. On the deed of Keating's HQ property it stated "When recorded mail to AMERICAN CONTINENTAL 2621 East Camelback Road, Suite 150, Phoenix, Arizona." This was just across the hall from General John Singlaub's U.S. COUNCIL FOR WORLD FREEDOM, the American affiliate headquarters of the WORLD ANTI-COMMUNIST LEAGUE. General Singlaub's long CIA career goes all the way back to when he was an OSS agent under the direction of William Casey in France and China during WWII. By purchasing UNITED BRANDS Carl Lindner set himself up to become the world's greatest financial beneficiary of the CONTRA/HONDURAN aid program which poured billions in U.S. aid into Honduras to the direct enrichment of Lindner's plantations. Did Lindner send his water boy, Charles Keating, out to Phoenix to facilitate the Contra war with General Singlaub so that Lindner could multiply his fortune? The summer preceding Keating's purchase of his headquarters property, Keating headed the media relations group for the JOHN CONOLLY FOR PRESIDENT campaign. With Keating in this section was Jim Brady (soon to become Ronald Reagan's Press Secretary) and Joyce Downey. Upon arriving in Phoenix, Downey went across the hall to become General Singlaub's top executive. Former Texas Governor Conally's son Mark later became an AMERICAN CONTINENTAL executive after serving as an aide to "Keating Five" Senator John McCain. In a very complicated way all this bleeds into Keating's transactions with BANK OF CREDIT AND COMMERCE INTERNATIONAL (BCCI). It is beyond dispute that before it was exposed, BCCI was the largest corporate crime network the world had ever known. Even TIME MAGAZINE ran a cover story explaining how BCCI had become the favored means of moving dirty money for not only the Medullin Cocaine Cartel, but for the PLO, MOSSAD, Abu Nadal and the CIA as well as various countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea. For anyone looking for the possibilities that Keating was laundering illegal funds for Singlaub's Contras campaign, any transactions with BCCI would set off all kinds of bells and whistles. In early 1986 Keating met a Pakistani in Switzerland named Abbas Gokal. Gokal belongs to a family of shipping magnates who started the downfall of BCCI by defaulting on $700 million in loans. Gokal introduced Keating to Alfred Hartmann, a BCCI director and president of the Bank's Geneva branch. Steven Pizzo reported in the NATIONAL MORTGAGE NEWS that Hartmann provided $3 billion in loans to Saddam Hussein for nuclear, chemical and ballistic missile programs just preceding the Gulf war and is the director most closely linked to the laundering of Medullin Cartel drug money. In 1986, Keating, Hartmann and other BCCI directors met in London, Paris, Zurich, Phoenix and the Bahamas where they founded a corporation known as TRENDINVEST. All this was well known by lower level federal regulators who could not get an appropriate response from higher ups. In testimony before the HOUSE BANKING COMMITTEE a federal regulator, John J. Meek, testified that "AMERICAN CONTINENTAL had no records of Keating's secret role in TRENDINVEST. Regulators learned of the partnership only from an offhand remark by an AMERICAN CONTINENTAL executive." Keating invested $17.5 million into this company without even informing the board of directors of AMERICAN CONTINENTAL. Meeks went on to detail an unending train of baffling Keating transactions which included $25.5 million to DIA HOLDINGS, a Netherlands company, $10 million to SOUTHBROOK HOLDINGS, a Panamanian company, $25 million to GFTA, a West German company )*) all deals that regulators never figured out. In summary, did Keating have both the motive and the opportunity to launder illegal funds for CIA operations in Latin America and elsewhere? Yes. Yes. Yes. It is worth mentioning that when Keating moved out of suite 150 POST\NEWSWEEK moved in. Remember, this was just across the hall from where General John Singlaub ran the Nicaraguan Contra campaign. This was the operation that led Ollie North and General Secord into so much temptation. With the parade of mercenaries that processed through Singlaub's office one must conclude that POST\NEWSWEEK was one among many news organizations that never had the slightest inclination to cover any of these stories. In as much as an animal is undefinable apart from its environment, it is worth analyzing the political setting of Charles Keating. During the high points of Keating's reign the big man in Arizona was Kemper Marley. Marley was the first and only billionaire in Arizona. His wealth was based originally on a liquor monopoly conferred upon him by Sam Bronfman of the SEAGAMS family. In Arizona Marley was all powerful. In 1948, fifty two employees of Kemper Marley's wholely owned company, UNITED LIQUOR, went to prison on federal liquor violations ))) including Gene Hensley, the father)in)law of Arizona Senator John McCain. Gene Hensley was Kemper Marley's UNITED LIQUOR general manager. On the basis of so many prosecutions some people might feel UNITED LIQUOR could qualify as organized crime. The slick attorney who kept Marley out of this trial and sent McCain's father)in)law to prison in his place was William Rehndquist )))) currently the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. It was the judgement of the court that Gene Hensley would be prohibited from ever working in the liquor industry. Of course such judgments meant nothing to Marley. When Gene Hensley got out of prison Marley arranged a BUDWIESSER distributorship for Hensley which is now in the hands of Senator John McCain and reported to be worth $50 million! The best source for an introduction to the environment of total political corruption in Arizona is the book, THE ARIZONA PROJECT: HOW A TEAM OF INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS GOT REVENGE ON DEADLINE. In graphic detail journalist Michael Wendland links the most prominent people in Arizona with various organized crime king pins. Wendland was part of the group called INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS AND EDITORS who came to Phoenix in the wake of the fatal car bombing of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC's investigative reporter, Don Bolles. It was the conclusion of this group that Marley, by far the wealthiest man in Arizona, was behind this murder. According to intelligence sources of the Phoenix police, who prepared a background profile of Kemper Marley the week following the Bolles murder, Marley was at one time directly connected to the remnants of the old Al Capone mob. When Marley died July 1990 he owned 5 square miles of Carefree )*) the highest priced real estate in Arizona. The smallest lot in this most exclusive township is zoned for one acre. By some coincidence the Tax Accessor made the same mistake evaluating Marley's properties as he did on Charlie Keating's properties. This oversight was saving Marley a million dollars a year. Of course the official investigation showed no wrongdoing in either case. For the last 45 years Marley bankrolled the Republican Party which doled out Marley's great wealth to a slate of Republican candidates who were almost universally successful in obtaining high political office. Marley was able to control the Democratic party as well. Every current congressman and every senator in Arizona owes his position to the Marley machine. These office holders include "Keating Five" Senators John McCain and Dennis DeConcini as well as former State Attorney General, Bob Corbin. At one point Marley served as Chairman of the Board of the VALLEY NATIONAL BANK. When Bugsy Siegel, on instructions from Meyer Lansky, built the FLAMINGO CLUB, Las Vegas's first casino, the money was borrowed from the VALLEY NATIONAL BANK. Al Lizanetz, who served as Kemper Marley's public relations man for 20 years, is one of the richest sources for background on the liquor magnate. The Bolles murder was part of a package deal that was to include a hit on Lizanetz. According to Lizanetz, the Marley machine placed the highest priority on placing lawyers in all the key state and municipal positions. The Arizona State Attorney General during the Keating era, Bob Corbin, worked formerly for Marley in the insurance industry in the 1950s. Corbin accepted a $55,000 campaign contribution from Charles Keating in a race where he was unopposed. Since Corbin did not have to spend the money in the campaign he got to keep the $50,000 when he retired. This is significant since S&Ls are state chartered institutions and it was therefore the responsibility of State Attorney General Corbin to oversee Keating's operations. Marley placed his people in the top positions of the Department of Public Safety. The county prosecutor was also key to him. Lizanetz claims that Marley recruited Eugene Pullium to come to Phoenix to start the ARIZONA REPUBLIC/PHOENIX GAZZETT, the monopoly newspaper which has succeeded in covering up these matters. Eugene Pullium is the grandfather of Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle grew up in the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley living just next door to the founder of the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY, Robert Welsh. Quayle's parents were the local JOHN BIRCH coordinators. Marley's mentor was Sam Bronfman, the progenitor of the SEAGRAMS empire. When Sam Bronfman visited Marley in Arizona he came in the company of Al Capone. Lizanetz claims that Jack Ruby, assassin of Lee Harvey Oswald, was also on the Bronfman payroll. There may be something to this since Louis Bloomfield, the family attorney for the Bronfmans, was the chairman of the board of PERMENDEX, the Italian company whose board also included Clay Shaw, the man prosecuted by District Attorney James Garrison for the murder of President Kennedy. Many have suggested that Charles Keating fell out of favor with the powers that be and was set up. This is clearly not so. Ironically, after issuing millions in bribes, the downfall of Keating's empire began and ended with one minor public official who was not for sale. Charlie was playing fast and loose with the rules but he did have his end game well planned. In order to buy time for his failing company, Keating resorted to selling AMERICAN CONTINENTAL bonds through the affiliates of his S&L, LINCOLN SAVINGS. Telephone solicitors were paid to call LINCOLN CD holders just prior to expiration dates and advise them to roll over their investments into ACC bonds. This was good for $230 million of keep alive money. While the higher rate of interest was mentioned, the fact that these bonds were not federally insured was not. But these minor infractions would all be covered by Keating's most grandiose of all grandiose schemes. The most precious resource in Arizona is water. Keating was going to pay off his bondholders with the profits he was going to make through his near successful attempt to monopolize the water supply for the city of Phoenix! In Arizona there are five water tables from which water can be pumped ))) an enterprise known as water farming. Keating arranged a $200 million dollar loan through LINCOLN SAVINGS for Ron Ober, Senator Dennis DeConcini's campaign manager. The grand plan was for Ober to purchase all the land suitable for water farming in La Paz county just south of Phoenix that Keating did not already own. Then Keating engineered a bill for the Arizona legislature that stipulated that the city of Phoenix would be legally obligated to purchase 100% of Keating's and Ober's water before they could purchase a drop from anyone else! Since Keating and Ober were planning to pump a million acre feet of water a year at a thousand dollars an acre foot that meant profits in the hundreds of millions ))) far more than was necessary to pay off the bondholders. In fact Keating and Ober would have been well on their way to Rockefeller status wealth. Since Senator DeConcini had purchased land in the other five suitable water tables he would have made out ever better. This plan was probably conceived by the more cautious DeConcini who intended to use Keating and Ober for stalking horses for his own business interests. Such grandiose scams can only be attempted when one can count on the local media to keep secrets and law enforcement to look the other way. Despite some obstreperous lower level officials at the Federal Home Loan Bank Board everything was going like clockwork for Keating. While everyone slept and no one even heard of this water legislation, Keating's bill sailed through the Arizona House of Representatives in a record 2 days. It would have done the same in the state senate except for one man ))) State Senator Jerry Gilespie. Another man in Jerry's position could have parlayed for a suit case full of hundred dollar bills. But Jerry killed the bill without wasting a heart beat. In the next senate election a massive amount of funding showed up for Jerry's opponent. Today Jerry heads up the BO GRITZ FOR PRESIDENT CAMPAIGN in Arizona. This fascinating water story made it onto the cover of the November 1989 issue of PHOENIX MAGAZINE under the very appropriate title PARASITES IN OUR WATER. This unbelievable account of greed and corruption was believable only because it was written by 5 term x)congressman Sam Steiger. Even so, no wire services picked it up. This article is the first national coverage of Keating's failed end game. Things still looked rosy on May 20, 1988 when Keating threw a lavish champagne party at his Headquarters celebrating what Keating imagined to be his final victory over the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Keating always kept magnums of Dom Pernon chilled for special occasions. FHLBB examiners in San Francisco had been motioning to close down LINCOLN SAVINGS. Thanks to backing from John McCain and Dennis DeConcini and the other "Keating Five" senators LINCOLN SAVING's FHLBB files had that day been moved to Washington D.C. where they were guaranteed to receive much more favorable treatment. At the height of this rancorous party, Keating ripped off his shirt to reveal a tee shirt with a skull and cross bones superimposed over the letters FHLBB. As one top exec poured cold champagne down the front of one secretary's brassier, Keating threw a computer and a typewriter out through the glass of second story windows. Everyone there roared with approval. The $1 million in bribes to senators seemed well spent. But there was something Keating had not considered ))) one $15,000 per year state senator who did not have a price. END Document Interpretation of Title Search of Charles Keating's AMERICAN CONTINENTAL CORPORATION Headquarters Property There is an army of federal regulators combing the affairs of Charles Keating, so naturally they have found all that there is to find by now. Right? WRONG!!! Keating is a man who has done favors for many powerful individuals including Presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush. The fix is clearly in and Keating seen publicly in Phoenix is visibly not a worried man. When the Feds took over the PHOENICIAN RESORT in a surprise 1:00 AM raid on the hotel, at 4:00 AM Keating was summoning bellmen to a side entrance where 24 cartons of files were loaded into Keating's RV. When asked about this by a member of the local press the Feds responded that they knew of this and Keating was allowed to take these files because they were his personal correspondence ))) like letters to his family. The federal investigation of Keating is totally compromised. If the Feds had done even the most elemental examination of Charles Keating, this is what they would certainly have found: On November 26, 1980, just two weeks after the election of Reagan and Bush, Keating purchases the property 2735 East Camelback Road for his AMERICAN CONTINENTAL CORPORATION (ACC) Headquarters for $3,083,000 from the MICHAEL J. PELOQUIN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Michael J. Peloquin is the son of Robert Peloquin who set up INTERTEL for Meyer Lansky after Lansky had failed to introduce legalized gambling into Atlantic City. Peloquin ran the PARADISE ISLAND CASINO in the Bahamas for Lansky. Interesting since Keating has his mansion base in the Bahamas. The parent company of INTERTEL is RESORTS INTERNATIONAL which changed its name from MARY CARTER PAINT COMPANY. MARY CARTER PAINT was reported in a significant May 20, 1976 article by Howard Kohn in ROLLING STONE to be founded by Allen Dulles, the first Director of CIA. General Singlaub was an OSS agent under the direction of Reagan's CIA Director William Casey in France during WWII. In the book, THE COMPANY THAT BOUGHT THE BOARDWALK, INTERTEL was described as a merger of former FBI, CIA, Customs, BTFA, IRS and other federal agents with organized crime. This book reports that Robert Peloquin headed the first Justice Department TASK FORCE ON ORGANIZED CRIME, then retired to go directly to work for those Justice was investigating. Michael J. Peloquin purchased what would soon become the ACC Headquarters property April 2, 1979, from James E. Patrick II and Herman Chanen for $550,000. The sale to Keating is a bump of $2.5 million in only 8 months! What is more, Patrick and Chanen are not stupid when it comes to real estate. Patrick is the son of James Patrick, President of VALLEY NATIONAL BANK and Herman Chanen owns one of the largest construction companies in the state as well as being Chairman of the State Board of Regents which administrates all state universities. These men represent the very pinnacle of the Phoenix business establishment. To make matters worse September 19, 1985, Keating received a $5,000,000 loan on this property from PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a bump of another $2,000,000. This was a one payment note that was due in total October 1, 1990. Keating filed Chapter 11 April 1990. Was Keating planning to go belly up at the time he made this loan? Ronald Reagan is one of the largest stockholders in PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE and his relatives in Arizona have large joint business ventures with PRUDENTIAL. One month after the PRUDENTIAL loan, Keating really became bold when he purchased the property adjoining the HQ property for $13,000,000 for LINCOLN SAVINGS! For all practical purposes this property is identical to the HQ property in size and structures. Very bold. The RESTITUTION TRUST CORPORATION (RTC) after taking over LINCOLN SAVINGS moved in to this property. They did this to protect Keating. Keating never had clear title to this property. It can not be sold. The RTC attorneys have been presented with all this information as have the attorneys for the bondholders. They have never as much as made a phone call in response. Charles Keating started out as an attorney for Carl Lindner, the original owner of ACC. Lindner, a well documented profiteer off the VIETNAM WAR, is a much bigger player than Keating. Lindner owned 7 failed S & Ls but has gone virtually unmentioned in regards to the S & L looting scandal. Linder owns 38.5% of the CIRCLE K CORPORATION (which exploits the underclass in America the same way his UNITED BRANDS exploits the underclass of Honduras) and has been reported to be one of the ten wealthiest men in America and one of the 5 top financiers of CIA. At the same time as Keating was purchasing the ACC HQ property, Linder was transferring almost the total assets of his AMERICAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION (a private company requiring no stockholder reports) into a Honduran company, UNITED BRANDS taking UB from a publicly traded to a private company. UNITED BRANDS was formed when UNITED FRUIT, a CIA front prominent in several Latin American coups (as well as the assassination of President Kennedy) was merged with a second company. CHEQUETA BANANAS is one of UB well know brand names. On the deed it stated "When recorded mail to AMERICAN CONTINENTAL 2621 East Camelback Road, Suite 150, Phoenix, Arizona." This is just across the hall from General Singlaub's U.S. COUNCIL FOR WORLD FREEDOM, the American affiliate headquarters of WORLD ANTI*COMMUNIST LEAGUE. Carl Lindner set himself up to become the world's greatest beneficiary of the CONTRA/HONDURAN aid program which poured billions of U.S. aid into Honduras to the direct benefit of Linder's plantations. Did he send his water boy, Charles Keating out to cook up the CONTRA war with General Singlaub so that he could multiply his fortune? Also very hard to miss is the fact that Walter J. Bush, nephew to the president, is involved in business with Keating, flying the banner AMERICAN CONTINENTAL LAND INVESTMENT CORPORATION at 2777 East Camelback. Walter closed down and moved out of this location the week Keating filed Chapter 11. Walter Bush owns this property which adjoins LINCOLN SAVINGS 2747 East Camelback, which is owned by Keating and adjoins Keating's HQ property 2735 East Camelback. Pretty hard for the Feds to miss! Walter Bush was using the name AMERICAN CONTINENTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY in 1967, long before Charles Keating came to Phoenix. All of Carl Lindner's companies begin with AMERICAN. Does this imply a Carl Lindner/Walter Bush connection long before Keating came to Phoenix? It sure looks that way. When Keating and Singlaub arrived in Phoenix at the same time and set up offices across the hall from each other, were they met by Walter Bush? THE SILENT WAR We are engaged in a silent war. Those waging this brutal conflict have not the decency to inform their victims ))) who include ourselves and almost everyone we know. Their standard bearers include George Bush and David Rockefeller. As the high priced professional liars in the mass media assure us all is well, the common people of the world are being crushed ))) like foot soldiers over run by a panzer division. And yet, the only real power of these perpetrators derives only from this force fed ignorance. Apart from the power to keep us fighting each other, the Monopolists have no power.

Bush into the president's family somewhere I eventually lit upon the possibility that he was the offspring of brother Bucky. I do not know of anything written about him. Walter did business next door to Charlie Keating under the name AMERICAN CONTINENTAL LAND INVESTMENT CORPORATION. Everyone in Phoenix just assumed it was the same company using separate buildings. Separating the buildings was a second building Keating owned which was used for LINCOLN SAVINGS. Here is the intriguing point. Walter owned this business 10 years before Charlie Keating purchased AMERICAN CONGENITAL from Carl Lindner. To me this suggests a Lindner/Walter Bush relationship that predates Keating's arrival in Phoenix by many years. Walter owns the largest saddle bred horse ranch in the United States if not the world. These are multi-million dollar horses! He made frequent calls to the Secret Service. He advertised in the ARIZONA REPUBLIC during the Gulf War for a Kuwaiti national partner. It was obvious he was aware of something the rest of us were not. At one time he said he had an uncle in the White House. His latest denial to the newspaper stated "I am not nor have I ever been a relative of George Bush." which strikes me as a Freudian slip. He conferred daily with Keating. He maintained an office in Switzerland. He sold muli million dollar parcels of Arizona land to Europeans. I do not have to say that that looks like a laundry here do I. It is very hard to do what you are doing. I know. Tracing the recent Bush family is very difficult. Many have tried. I sent Jon Kwitney 92 pages of land titles of Bushes in Arizona. There are enormously wealthy Bushes here. If they are connected to George is the big question. So good luck with this frustrating pursuit. Someone needs to do it. The story that the Bush ancestors reveal is the big picture. That we have.
